Valmet Dryer Fabric Cleaner improves fabric lifetime
Valmet Dryer Fabric Cleaner enables continuous fabric cleaning during production as well as intermittent cleaning. This increases production volume, with fewer breaks, wet streaks and marking or holes on the sheet. The dryer fabric lifetime is longer, with optimal fabric permeability and resulting cost savings.
